What would happen if lysosomes were not in the cell?

Everyone has lysosomes, they are necessary for us surviving past the earliest stages of life. However, if the lysosomes aren't working properly, then several problems occur. There are roughly 40 lysosomal storage diseases, all characterised by the lack of hydrolytic enzymes that give lysomsomes their function and the build up of polysaccaides and lipids that lysosomes are given the task of digesting or recycling. One of the most famous lysosomal storage diseases is Tay-Sachs disease. In Tay-Sachs, lysosomes cannot prcess a certain glycolipid called ganglioside GM2. This builds up on nervous tissue and results in the dimentia, paralysis, blindness, and eventually death that is classic in any infant suffereing from the disease.
